Nanofibers mats of chitosan (CTS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/halloysite nanoclay and drug loaded CTS/PVA/halloysite nanoclay//3-glycidyoxypropyl trimethoxysilane were fabricated using the electrospinning method. Electrospun nanofiber samples characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FTIR confirmed chemical...

The title p-hy-droxy Schiff base, C17H17NO4, was synthesized via the condensation reaction of benzocaine with vanillin. The benzyl-idine and benzoate rings are inclined to one another by 24.58 (8)°, and the conformation about the C=N bond is E. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains propagating along [010]. Adjacent chains are linked by C-H⋯π and we...

Acquired methemoglobinemia is a known complication of topical anesthesia during endoscopic procedures. Benzocaine has been implicated in a majority of cases and has been removed from some hospital formularies. However, a lot of uncertainty exists about the risk factors for this uncommon complication. This review attempts to summarize the current knowledge of this condition and describe known ri...

The title compound, C(22)H(30)N(4)O(2), has a crystallographic inversion center located at the mid-point of the N-N single bond. Apart from the four ethyl C atoms, the non-H atoms are nearly coplanar with a mean deviation of 0.0596 (2) Å. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to (100).

In the polymeric title compound, [Cd(C(4)H(2)O(4))(C(19)H(12)N(4)O)(2)](n), the Cd(II) centre is eight-coordinated within an N(4)O(4) donor set derived from two chelating 4-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenol ligands and two asymmetrically chelating carboxyl-ate residues of bridging fumarate dianions. The linear chains are linked into a layer in the ac plane via O-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate...

The title compound, [Au(C(9)H(10)NOS)(C(18)H(33)P)], represents a monoclinic polymorph to complement a previously reported triclinic (P) polymorph [Hall et al. (1993 ▶). Aust. J. Chem.46, 561-570 (unit-cell data only)]. The Au(I) atom is coordinated within an S,P-donor set that defines a slightly distorted linear geometry [S-Au-P = = 175.43 (3)°], with the distortion due in part to a close intr...

Ethyl 2-[2-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]acetate was prepared in good yield and characterized by the aza-alkylation/intramolecular Michael cascade reaction of (E)-ethyl 3-[2-(tosylamino)phenyl]acrylate with 2-bromo-4′ ′-nitroacetophenone, followed by desulfonative dehydrogenation with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) The structure of the newly synthesized compound was determined using ...

We have recorded high resolution, partially rotationally resolved, jet-cooled cavity ringdown spectra of the origin band of the A-X electronic transition of both the G and T conformers of the perproteo and perdeutero isotopologues of the ethyl peroxy radical, C(2)H(5)O(2). This transition, located in the near infrared, was studied using a narrow band laser source (< or approximately 250 MHz) an...
